Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Carrie Fisher?! Although missing the classic score and sound effects, such as Darth Vader’s breathing or the lightsaber’s hum, Star Wars is strangely compelling as a silent film. With dramatically costumed actors scurrying about futuristic sets, one could almost see the film as a precursor to Metropolis.
What other films do you think might benefit from the Silent Movie treatment? I’d love to see a horror flick like Wolf Creek… it would just make it more terrifying.

That first video was fantastic! And, I think a silent version of Leon has the potential be pretty cool; a remade version that is.
